Patek Philippe 3710 Nautilus Comet SS Black Dial

The Patek Philippe 3710/1A-001 Nautilus "Comet" is a landmark model in the Nautilus lineage, first introduced in 1998 and renowned as the reference that ushered complications into the iconic stainless steel sports line. Housing the automatic caliber 330 SC, this Nautilus stands out by integrating a power reserve indicator at twelve, earning its “Comet” moniker from the unique radial hand that arcs across the dial. Its distinct black dial, adorned with signature horizontal embossing and luminous baton markers, exudes refined sportiness while maintaining the Nautilus's unmistakable Gerald Genta-designed case contours. The beautifully proportioned steel case measures 42 mm in width and approximately 45 mm lug-to-lug, offering the ideal presence for both sporty and elegant wear. Water resistance is rated at 120 meters, a testament to the model's robustness and versatility. The integrated stainless steel bracelet exhibits Patek Philippe’s legendary finishing and comfort, emphasizing the watch’s seamless profile. Collectors value this reference not only for its technical firsts within the Nautilus heritage, but also for its relatively short production run, cementing its position as a sought-after and culturally significant timepiece for the modern Patek aficionado. The 3710/1A-001 bridges vintage design cues with a milestone in the brand’s technical evolution, making it a centerpiece in any collection. Excellent condition, accompanied by a European Watch Company leather pouch and an Extract from the Patek Philippe Archives, dated 1998. This Nautilus was just fully serviced by Patek Philippe in Q1 2026.
